Another excercise that will develop endurance and coordination is where you find some bleachers and run up and down them until your calves are jelly... we called them stadiums.

Uggg... After I got home from school I chilled for a bit, had an apple, waited a half hour, than went on my jog. Pushed myself a little harder this time. When I got back dinner was on the table, I say down and started eating. Shortly after the 4 or 5th bite, I promptly excused myself and went to the bath room. Saving you the details - those few bites were out when I got out!

*Note to self - Don't eat 30 or so minutes, before or after running!

Thanks TN. I've got stairs, I guess they're good enough right?

Plyometrics are good to do along with the jogging. But, jogging will only build up endurance to a certain point. It's good as a starter to get your legs going and lungs pumping, but the real work can be had if you do interval training. Basically, it's a combination of jogging and sprinting, but will build endurance twice as fast as just jogging alone. There is some good info on the web about it and endless variations you can mix together (like combining the intervals with plyometrics). This also helps eliminate the monotony of a straight 20-30 minute jog, which can get pretty boring sometimes, LOL. Try this once or twice a week and I think you will see some good results.
